II. CHRI Statement of Business
The Centre for Health Research and Innovation (CHRI), a PATH affiliate in India, is dedicated to creating lasting public health impact across the country. CHRI works in critical domains including tuberculosis, maternal and child health, neglected tropical diseases, malaria, vaccines, and health systems strengthening, engaging communities, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and health facilities to drive sustainable, scalable change.
CHRI follows a holistic and health-systems-oriented approach to strengthen the continuum of care across the public health space rather than restricting itself to a specific theme. It can involve advocacy for policies, technologies and resources that improve health services and delivery.
The purpose of this document is to delineate the comprehensive scope of work involved in hiring a local NGO partner within the Jharsuguda, Bhubaneshar, Rayagada district of Odisha for the implementation of Community-Based Surveillance (CBS). The chosen NGO partner will be responsible for training various community structures, including Jan Aroya Samitis, Mahila Arogya Samitis, Ward Kalyan Samitis, Jal Sathi, Swachha Sathi, Youth Club Members, SHGs, and Residential Welfare Associations, etc.. This training will encompass instruction on what to report, how to report, and where to report regarding early warning signals of potential outbreaks, utilizing different modes of reporting for community-based surveillance. Furthermore, the NGO will maintain continuous engagement with these community structures, empowering them to report early warning signals effectively. Additionally, the NGO will coordinate with healthcare providers to ensure a timely response to impending outbreaks and facilitate community awareness initiatives.
The detailed Scope of works is mentioned in Annexure-A.
CHRI is collaborating with the state of Odisha to harness the integrated laboratory networks at district and block levels, aiming to support the effectiveness of the public health surveillance system by establishing clear and effective connections both vertically and horizontally. Also, implementing community-based surveillance model for early detection of outbreak. By implementing these integrated laboratories and Community Based Surveillance the health systems will become more resilient and better equipped to respond to pandemics, as they will be able to promptly identify and investigate infectious (epidemic) and non-infectious disease outbreaks, as well as evaluate environmental factors that impact health, including air quality, water, food, zoonotic diseases, and climate-related health risks.
